The Entrepreneur Experiment
EE502 - How He Turned 173 Salon Conversations Into a Startup That Raised €4.9M | Conor Moules

13 years this year she knew you before you were famous she's seen me on the entire journey and kind of backed it like we're very much a team yeah um so yeah she never has thankfully but and if she was ever going to the next thing i tell you it was definitely going to be the time she could hit me uh with that but essentially two investors in the previous iteration of bamboo put together 50 grand to buy it out liquidation but there was no more money than that and like when i say no more money

The Entrepreneur Experiment
EE502 - How He Turned 173 Salon Conversations Into a Startup That Raised €4.9M | Conor Moules
